One Line Drawings

Yesterday in my Design Projects Workshop we were challenged by our lecturer, Jamie, to attempt 2 quick sketches with about 5 minutes for each. the first challenge was to draw a selection of objects in front of us. We had to draw these objects using a one line technique meaning we could not take our pens of the paper. The aim of this exercise was to improve our ability to sketch quickly and more confidently.

After this we were then challenged to draw a portrait of the person sat oppisite. To make the challenge fairer for those who are not very good at portraits we had to draw using our non dominant hand and also using the one hand technique. Whilst I did struggle with this drawing more, having to concentrate more because I was using my left hand instead of my right helped me draw better than I thought I would.
